Despite the building not complete, the Elk City CAPPs committee is already forming plans on how the Elk City Activity Center will be used.
According to Elk City, City Manager Tom Ivester, the committee’s goal is to make sure the building is being utilized year round.
Currently the building is starting to see metal scaffolding being erected at the sight, which is located in Ackley Park West, south of the Elk City Elementary School.
The next CAPPs project the city plans to move forward with is the renovation of the city pool. Early planning for that project is already underway.

The turf project at the 5-plex baseball and softball fields in Elk City’s Ackley Park West and the baseball field in Ackley Park has officially been paid for.
Sort of.
During the latest Elk City Commissioner’s meeting the commission approved the final pay application to Hellas Construction, the company that the city had bought the material from and who installed the turf. The budgeted item was for just under $275,000.
However, City Manager Tom Ivester says the city will put a hold on the check.
The other bill was for damaged lights that Hellas allegedly damaged during the construction process. Ivester said that Hellas was going to deduct the cost of repair off the final bill. He says he wants to make sure that that deduction was indeed honored.
